Hello!

I'm having the following problem: when trying to access shared files on another computer, I see the other computer in the network neighbourhood, but I can't access it. I need to disable the firewall until the connection has been made (e.g. until I can see what files are shared on the other pc), after that I can reenable the firewall and everthing work fine, also file transfers. I'm not changing any settings besides switching the firewall off for 30 secs, and then on again.

A similar problem appears with iTunes: it won't detect the other machine's library until I switch the firewall off until the shared library is found, the on again. After that I can leave the firewall on, and everthing works fine.

Seems something gets blocked while 'detecting', event though the network both machines are connected to are added to the 'trusted' zone.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Kentar.

ps: using Win Vista 32bit and Bitdefender Total Securit 2008
